Day 1: Sunday ~ Annual Family Pic time! It went pretty smoothly but as usual, it's always a little stressful wrangling these 3 to look, smile and act like normal people while the camera in on! LOL!
This was one of my faves :) (one of the few Brookey decided to show her braces!)
Sisters :)
Day 2: Monday ~ Sarah and I decided to bake some blueberry muffin cookies! She loves to help in the kitchen.
Day 3: Tuesday ~ Election Day! Geez. What can I say? Chaos. I am glad my kids got to experience the process. They were very interested in everything that was going on.
We took them to the polls before school ~
Will's class had their own "mock election" too...Pokeman vs. Legos! They studied the "issues," had debates and voted on Tuesday! Here's ever-serious Will casting his ballot!
This is about how I felt the whole day! We do not share our political views with our kids. If they ask, we try to give as much of a topline, fair and balanced overview as we can about things. I do not want them to be the kids at school who talk and sound just like their parents. When they're old enough , they will develop their own opinions. For now, most kids just say whatever their parents say and I can't stand that (that could be dangerous for us, too!! LOL!)
Day 4: Wednesday ~ It was the end of the trimester for Brooke and poor thing studied for HOURS (like 5-6!) for her end of the trimester final exams. All I have to say is if we never see another topographic map in our lives, Brooke and I would both be fine.
Day 5: Thursday ~ We didn't have school today and we had NO PLANS! It was awesome! Brooke spent the night at a friend's house and Sarah went to see Trolls with her friend.
Day 6: Friday ~ Every Friday evening, I get to spend over an hour in the car with this girl taking her to an acting/musical theater class. I never complain about the drive (or the fact that it's FRIDAY NIGHT) because it's uninterrupted time with my daughter. She's growing up SO FAST and I appreciate any time we can spend together, just us.
And as a side note, she LOVES the Musical Theater class, so I could never say no to taking her. She auditioned for, and got the part of the Evil Stepmother in Cinderella...performance will be Dec 9th!! I love that she LOVES this!
Day 7: Saturday ~ End of the season for Brooke's Fireblazers! They finished the season in first place with one loss. Her team was incredible, although I feel her heart wasn't really into this year. I thought she was going to give up on soccer all together but she's already taking about next year, sooooo we'll see :)
"Fireblazers! Feel the Burn!!"
Will thought he had his last game last week but a rained delayed game got rescheduled! Plus we found out he's playing in the All Star game..which is SO EXCITED about!!
Not a great pic because it was almost dark but he had a goal and then played goalie and saved a few. THE WON!!!!! SHOCKING!!! It was a great way to end his otherwise crappy season :) I swear, this may have been their only win despite having some REALLY good players.
That's a wrap!!! Cheers to a great week! XO

Stopping by to say hi! Love the new look with your name in that pretty, bold blue. So proud of all you have accomplished and the way you manage to balance. You are A-Mazing! And those family pics? Star quality. Just precious. Love that your daughter is 'into' acting and music. Can't wait to learn more about her debut as Cinderella's step-mother. What an honor.
